About this property
Relax with a View Just 5 minutes from Downtown Asheville
This mountain home is nestled in beautiful, wooded scenery just 5 minutes from downtown in a quiet, residential neighborhood.
There are four bedrooms and three baths to accommodate 6-8 people very well. The primary bedroom has a king bed. The upstairs guest bedroom has another king bed. The downstairs bedrooms both have queen beds and share a bathroom. I have 2 smart TVs, one in the upstairs living room and one in the primary bedroom. My house is decorated with tons a fun artwork and vintage items. Plus, there are a few of my own handmade glass pieces available if you would like a souvenir from Asheville. The garage is reserved for my personal use. If you reserve the home, you will be the only guests. I will not be present during your stay. I live in the mountains which is lovely, but makes for a steep driveway yet is completely accessible with any car.
There is a 3 car maximum.

Guest interaction
I have lived in the area for awhile now and know great places to eat and hang out. If you would like any suggestions or tips, please just ask. I have a PDF of recommendations I’d be happy to send by email before your stay. There is also a book in the kitchen that suggests some of my personal favorite places. It has phone numbers for reservations (which I suggest) and maps to help you find everything in Asheville. I will not be present during your stay, but am always just a text away for anything you might need.
Getting around
My place is a quick trip to downtown by car or Uber. In just 5 minutes, you are in the heart of downtown ready to enjoy all that Asheville has to offer!
Other things to note
This is also a residential neighborhood. Sound travels easily, so I ask that guests be respectful in terms of noise. Thanks in advance! Please consider taking an Uber or Lyft to hang out downtown, just minutes away with tons of great places to hang, eat and drink!! I’ll send you a list of my favorites! There are so many, it’s hard to choose!
Please be advised this is a mountain home in a mountain setting. This may not be the perfect home for people with mobility issues. There are approximately 7 steps from the driveway to the walkway and 2 steps from the walkway into the house.
The kitchen, laundry, two bedrooms and baths (including the master), dining room and living room are on the main level. There is one bedroom, bath, and a den with a futon in the basement.
I have a regular drip coffee pot, k pod coffee maker, French press and electric kettle. Filters are provided: please bring coffee and creamer, we have the view!
Just so you are aware, there is a camera at the garage door. It is there to help with any problems a guest might have with the lockbox. It also triggers a light to come up for late night arrivals which is helpful! The only thing I can see from this camera is directly in front of the door. The only reason it is there is to help guests check in and check out. One dog is ok with pet fee, must be house trained. Ask if you have any questions.
This home is not suitable for parties or events. Please do not book for a bachelorette or bachelor party, you will be asked to cancel your reservation.

About the host
Hosted by Courtney Dodd
I'm a glassblower and a photographer who has lived in the area since 2011. I love good food and drinks and having fun! Need a suggestion of places to go, no problem! I have a list of some of my favorites I'd love to share with you. There are tons are wonderful places in Asheville. Come and enjoy the view, the food, the beer and the art!
Why they chose this property
My home has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths making it a great place for a family or 3 couples to stay very comfortably. Double shower heads and a jacuzzi tub make the master bath a retreat! Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances help bring a smile to any cook's face in the kitchen. There are 2 smart TVs with netflix and amazon. But the deck will please everyone, with a lovely view and a bit of the cool Asheville night air! I'm located just 5 minutes from Asheville, but it feels like the country.
What makes this property unique
My home is decorated with tons fun antiques, quirky pieces of art, and lots or handmade pieces through. I've tried to consider everything from aesthetics to comfort and function.
Come stay in the country, 5 minutes from downtown Asheville with all the amenities of home and more.
